Experiments conducted at Colorado State University, which resulted in the first demonstration of large soft x-ray amplification in a discharge-created plasma, are reviewed. The most recent measurements, conducted in capillary discharges up to 20 cm in length, have yielded an amplification of approximately equals exp(14) in the 46.9 nm line of Ne-like argon. The dependence of the line intensity with discharge parameters and the dynamics of the capillary plasma column under lasing conditions are reported. Prospects for laser operation at shorter wavelengths are also discussed.
